i think a color change would be cool, but not into crown and/or baseboard because the piece itself is about simple lines.

don't blame yourself! unless you've personally worked with a contractor before, what you're going through is always a possibility... even if they're highly rated and come with glowing recs from your friends. all you can do is cross your fingers and hope to get lucky, and if not then take charge and keep on every detail as you're doing now. good luck!

it already is raised a percentage every year.

most of the tenants in my building pay market rate (primarily students funded by very well off parents) but there are a few of us in rent controlled and stabilized apartments. some are elderly and have been here for decades and the rest, like me, work in the arts or teach. even with lower rents it's not easy to afford. i would just like to remind folks that we are the people who create so much of what makes new york a fascinating vital city.

there are certainly examples like the one above which although legal feels very unfair but the vast majority of these tenants really need and deserve the protection and are a significant part of what draws people here in the first place.

@LSB and @Really?
I agree and would like to add this incredibly awkward segment:
"Even before I knew who she was, I wanted to meet her and be IN that bed with her. We soon were, and she and the room are still memorable (and friends)"

How many people were in that bed? And is her dorm room still friends with all of you, however many that may be... or just her? Is there a tapeworm involved?

you can do a needle felt repair. it's really easy and fast.

also, with the freezing, what was posted above won't work. ditto cedar. read this:

it's very true, although i've had success with multiple repetitions of freezing and then warming to trigger hatching then freezing, etc. etc.

it's a pain but they'll keep coming back unless you're serious about combating them

and to krgr1428 -- i clicked through, and glue or not, i still like the wood on the cab doors, don't get why they moved the stove and totally am at a loss as to why they kept the weird shelves with fussy brackets across the window.
